Pavlovskaya HPP is a 166.4 MW hydro power station in Bashkortostan, Russia. It is operated by LLC "Bashkir Generation Company". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 167k homes (estimated). It ranks #332 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1959, it is around 67 years old — an older, legacy facility. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, hydro supplies about 16.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 166.4 MW, Pavlovskaya HPP is well above the median hydro plant in Russia (72 MW). Technically it is described as conventional storage. Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Climate zone & how it works
This hydro plant converts the energy of falling or flowing water through hydro turbines. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
